Lead me to the Cross
On and off over the last couple of weeks I've been waking up with a song in my head. Sometimes it's the melody only, like a delightful ear worm, and others it's words and music.

Dancing in the Rain
Right after I spoke with my husband, once again learning that the closing day is not yet set, I looked at our TX realtors website to learn that the house that I really liked is under contract taking backups. Oh woe is me! I pouted. Woe. Is. Me. And then I saw that the other … Continue reading Dancing in the Rain

On Free-Will
Vincent van Gogh makes an appearance on Dr. Who in an episode where he sees an alien (one who we find out later is trapped, separated and afraid) wreaking havoc in a town, when even the Doctor doesn't see without some special manipulation of mirrors. van Gogh also sees Amy's deep sadness when she doesn't … Continue reading On Free-Will
